A Manning to South Beach?

I think all offseason Arch was told this team is so talented you just have to not make any mistakes. I think that's why he's looking off of Open receivers on throws that he could make and looking for an easier safer option. I think they've gotten in his head and until they get out we're not going to see the guy who he had last year.

No that is not what I am saying. I am saying look at the four years he has been here. If Sark felt Arch was better than Quinn he would have transferred. So take that with the entire time Arch has been the starter. Look at the whole body of work. 

I honestly think Sark has predetermined that its the "starter's time" until it isn’t. He's given Arch as much grace as he did with Quinn. I don't think Sark wants to bench anyone at the QB position unless he feels he absolutely has to (i.e. Card at Arkansas & Quinn vs Georgia in Austin). Its crazy to think that Casey Thompson probably the QB that's run Sark's offense the smoothest and with the most consistency as any of the QBs during Sark's tenure at Texas.

Did it ever occur to people that Arch may not be that good? I mean it’s not like there is no on field evidence. 

I bet you are ready for basketball

Was Arch really THAT good in the 2nd half of 2025? He was still missing throws and making questionable reads, but he had some big plays in there that were enough to get the job done. The argument was that he didn't have enough help, he got help this season, and his level of play hasn't elevated. 

Same system as last year, but what growth has he shown in it? He was injured in the offseason, but how much time did he spend in the playbook? Where is the ownership of the offense?

It's on Sark for choosing him as the starter, but not doing enough to make him serviceable or consistent despite his limitations. It is also on him for retaining Kyle Flood and allowing the OL to continue its descent.
